Technical data Storing wind and solar energy in a battery with Cobra SMARTsense Code Article no: P9519569 Principle In this experiment, wind energy and solar energy are stored in a rechargeable battery. When energy production becomes too low, the battery uses its stored energy to power a lamp, demonstrating how stored energy can be used to cover energy demand during periods of insufficient generation. Tasks Charge a rechargeable battery using solar and wind energy. Power an incandescent lamp using the stored energy when insufficient energy is being produced. Program the switching processes with Cobra SMARTsense Code so that they operate automatically. Learning objective Learners discover that surplus energy from renewable sources can be stored and used again at a later time. They are also introduced to simple programming of a device for voltage and current monitoring as well as relay switching. Benefits Programming of the Code Actuator using the Blockly programming language or a trigger function. Contact-safe design through puzzle-like interlocking modules. Use of standard Cobra SMARTsense sensors for teaching in schools and universities. Safe experimentation: the lamp is protected against accidental contact, the housing is well ventilated through ventilation openings, and it heats up only slightly. The power supply used is versatile and particularly suitable for student experiments at all educational levels ("RiSU 2016 compliant").
